What We Need

(album: Save Yourself - 1989)

Wipe that smile from off your face
It's time you told the truth
Another man against the wall
Won't matter if I shoot
Time it waits for no man
For you it's running out
Should have paid attention
To what people care about
Situation critical about something political
Excitement in the air
Can't it just typical feeling temperamental
No directions anywhere

What we need, is all the love in the world
We need, all the love
What we need, is all the love in the world
We need, all the love

Strong is my ambition
Like a magnet to the steel
My dream is my vision
That I must fulfill
Take away this desert thirst
The hunger from my bones
Free myself from life's dependent chains around my heels
Dangerous situations, lack of communication
The struggle to survive
Pre conceived ideas ticking like a time bomb
Sometimes it can go wrong

What we need, is all the love in the world
We need, all the love
What we need, is all the love in the world
We need, all the love

I was just a fool to believe in you
All those empty promises, lies I'll never learn
What about the children
Aren't they worth fighting for
Who's gonna wipe away their tears
Or don't you really care

What we need is all the love in the world
What we need is all the love
What we need is all the love in the world
What we need is all the love
What we need is all the love in the world
What we need is all the love
What we need is all the love in the world
What we need is all the love
